This Giving Tuesday, we know you'll be asked to support many different causes, all of which will be worthy and important. But we can't think of anything more important than our kids' futures! In light of the recent Red for Ed rally and the conversation it sparked across the state of Indiana, it is more obvious than ever that we need more resources in our classrooms. Our teachers do so much with so little. PTEF is proud to support those efforts by providing classroom grants and funding initiatives that inspire learning, teaching, and community across Perry Township. We invite you to be a part of this mission by making a donation today!
Just for fun, we thought we'd find out just who has the BIGGEST heart for giving: Falcons or Cardinals. Indicate which team you're on when you make a donation and don't forget to spread the word to your neighbors, colleagues, fellow alumni, families, and friends. It's easy to do by sharing the link to this page via email or social media. Whether you're representing the Perry side or the Southport side of the district, we're all on the same side when it comes to giving our kids the best education possible. PTEF has been dedicated to this cause for the past 25 years, and with your support, we can continue to inspire and support our teachers and students for many more years to come.
It had been a tough morning for Jacob, a kindergartner at Douglas MacArthur Kindergarten Academy. He didn’t quite know what to do with the big feelings that were preventing him from participating fully in class. Overwhelmed and frustrated, he ran out of the classroom into the hallway where he dropped to the floor and curled up in a ball, crying.
Kammie, the new facility dog—trained by the Indiana Canine Assistance Network and paid for by a PTEF grant—was called in to help. She gently approached, without prompting, and lay down on the floor next to him. A wave of calm passed over him and his little body began to relax. Soon he was back in the classroom learning and playing alongside his peers.
Your generosity makes moments like this possible. Together, we are inspiring learning, teaching, and community in Perry Township every day. We invite you to continue to inspire by donating to PTEF today!
